• SQL Server Refreshing metadata of transformations in the data flow

  Hello, I created a slowly changing dimension object and used an OLE DB Source object with a SQL Command to feed it. After all the SCD objects are created, I get a warning about a truncation which might happen. I adjust the source query with the right converts, so the query uses data types and lengths which match the target table. I update the OLE DB Source with the new query. Column names are unchanged. Now how do I get this data flow to reflect the new column lengths Do I have to throw away all objects and recreate the SCD The refresh button in the SCD object doesn't do it. This is also a problem when adding columns to your dimension table. Because I modify the stuff that the SCD generates, it's VERY teadious to always have to th ...Show All

• Windows Forms using applicationsettings/propertybinding to save form size etc.

  I want to be able to save the following: The last position and size of the form when not maximized and the last windowstate. ie if the user closed the app maximized, next time I want it to open maximized, but if the user sets it back to a normal window, I want it to display using the save size and location (as Microsoft Word does). I have created three user settings with the appropriate type. If I bind these to the form properties, it seems to really screw up (it works ok until I add the windowstate, but I need this setting. Otherwise, if I maximize the form and then close and reload the app, the windowstate is set to normal, but the size is set to the whole screen). I have also tried setting these properties in the constructor and ch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how to Creating a user control

  i want to create my textbox that accept only numeric data as a user control. how can i add textbox events,methods properties in my user control All of these events have protected members whose name starts with "On". You can override them to handle the event before the base control gets it. Or you can just handle the event like you always did before. This example demonstrates both techniques: Imports System.Windows.Forms Public Class NumericTextBox Inherits TextBox Protected Overrides Sub OnGotFocus(ByVal e As System.EventArgs) '--- Select the text so that typing replaces it Me.SelectionStart = 0 Me.SelectionLength = Me.Text.Length MyBase.OnGotFocus(e) End Sub Private Sub NumericTe ...Show All

• SQL Server How to match a Count Measure in Process Partition component in SSIS?

  I have a facttable, and it point to a Partition. In Process Partition component in SSIS, it ask to match the columns of the facttable to the Partition's Measures. I try and found all the Measures need to be point, or it will cause a mistake. But the quesiton is , I have a Measure which counts the num of rows. What column of the facttable I need to point to it Thanks. Just to clarify terminology - I think what you're referring to as "Process Partition component" is technically the "Partition Processing Destination" in SSIS. Because a measure with "Count" aggregation uses a "Row Binding", rather than a "Column Binding", you should only need to specify the fact table, a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. blit from src surface to dst surface but these are created with different ddraw devices

  hi, i want to blit a surface to a primary surface but the src surface is created on a different directdraw device than the dst surface (primary surface for 2nd monitor...) and the BltFast returns " DDERR_DEVICEDOESNTOWNSURFACE" and the comment in the ddraw.h says: /* * Surfaces created by one direct draw device cannot be used directly by * another direct draw device. */ so does this mean that there is a indirect way for blitting surfaces belonging to different ddraw device best regards There's no way you can reuse a resource created by one DDraw device with another DDraw device... The best thing you can do is lock both surfaces, and memcpy() the contents between th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Debugger problem "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

  There was a similar question posed on the C++ forum back in February to which I responded yesterday, but unfortunately, did not get a response. I am therefore putting this question in the VB forum. I have a VB 2005 project which is actually an add-in to Outlook 2003, which was I was able to debug fine until earlier this week. Now I cannot debug it at all - the message in the subject is displayed when I hover the mouse over the breakpoint which shows a yellow icon in place. Can anyone here tell me what I should do to correct this I have checked as you suggested, but all items are as they should be and I still see the same error.

• Windows Forms Smoother Refresh

  Is there a way to force a refresh without making a control's background turn white Info: What you'll find is that the .net Winforms engine sends WM_ERASEBACKGND messages like crazy. Setting the control styles works, but you need to set those in any components that will receive messages. Another approach is to over ride WndProc to ignore these messages: protected override void WndProc( ref Message m) { if (m.Msg == WM_ERASEBKGND) { m.Result = new IntPtr (0); return ; } base .WndProc( ref m); } Where WM_ERASEBKGND = 0x0014.
